http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=942

           Summary: home directory
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.8.1p1
          Platform: ix86
        OS/Version: Cygwin on NT/2k
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ssh
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: telgabsi at transprog.org


ssh assumes /home/$USER beeing the home directory and looks for keys and
known_host under /home/$USER/.ssh!
In my opinion it should try to read the $HOME variable and only after that start
guessing.

All the tools use the home directory specified in the user's passwd file
entry,
they certainly don't "guess". I don't think that this will
change.
